From that last meme (which I'll link to again in the morning), questions from the lovely merry_treat)


1. Who is your favorite character, from any fandom? Least favorite? Character you are most indifferent about? Why?
Using Torchwood. This is so cliche for this fandom. But right now? Jack Harkness. I think it's because he really is so much more complex than a lot of characters in media these days (despite how he is treated within Doctor Who, grumble). He's got layers (not so very unlike an ogre, heh). He's dark and twisty because of things he's done, the things that happened to him when he was young, the man he was and the man he can't remember being and because he can't fucking die and he'll lose everyone. At the same time, he's so light and fun and is so free about sex because it's just sex and the bits and bobs of those involved, and how many are involved, don't matter as long as a good time is had by all. Layers, man.
Least favorite? Gah. I'm going to get lashed for this. Gwen Cooper. Gargh. I just...I really dislike how she doesn't seem to suffer the consequences of her actions, or to think them through (the Retcon incident. I know others will argue with me on this, but damn, just, no). I think she's much less sympathetic/emphatic than RTD tries to make us believe she is. She's emphatic when it's convenient to be. She makes snap judgments so easily, and I really can't stand that (ageism in Small Worlds, urgh). I want to not hate her, but she makes it so hard to feel anything for her. Oh, and the fact that everyone dies in Torchwood...except Gwen! Bargh.
Indifferent...hm. Kind of switching fandoms but not. Rose Tyler. One, I haven't seen enough Who to make a judgment and two...meh. I think she's a ditz sometimes and want to slap her, but I don't hate her. She's just...there, for me.

2. Describe your ideal dessert.
Oooh. Man. Um. Right now, because my brain just said this would sound delicious--vanilla ice cream with crumbled brownie and/or chocolate cookie bits with warm melty Nutella. I have no idea if this is feasbile, but man, I want this right now.

3. You are trapped in an elevator with three other people for three hours before you are rescued. Who are they, and how do you all keep from going nuts?
Assuming you meant they are non famous: Karissa, Bri, Melody. We talk Torchwood. I'm sure we'd argue about things, but it'd be fun.

4. Tell me about your first pet, if you had one. If not, what pet did you always wish you could have?
A big Perenese/golden lab/god knows what else-mix named Bear. I had her before I could remember until shortly after my--tenth birthday, I think. She was a big old sweetie. Didn't do much, but she was good for hugs and didn't misbehave. When my cat was young and stupider than she is now and would jump into the dogs' yard, Bear would sit on/over her to prevent our other dog from eating her. She was a very maternal dog, and for her sake I wish she could have had puppies just once. She would have made a great mother.

5. What did you always want to be when you grew up? Is this still your dream? If not, what career path are you choosing instead?
When I was an itty-bitty(er) thing, I wanted to be a vet. Once I realized I could not handle animals dying on my table (and how much I sucked at math/science) I decided to be a writer. I still want to pursue this, though...well, reality may force me to choose something else until I can make it big.
